You should clean the filter around the 25K - 30K mile mark under normal conditions. In extreme dusty or dirty environments, you should check more frequently. Over cleaning the filter will shorten the life of the filter and reduce its filtration efficiency. Accumulating some dirt actually helps the filtration.

Can aFe Power build me a custom filter?

Yes, we have a build your own filter section. Please Click Here to see if we can build the custom filter you need.

What is an aFe Power Magnum Shield Pre-Filter?

aFe Magnum Shield Pre-Filters protect your performance air filter and extends your filter cleaning intervals by removing large particles like twigs and bugs from the air stream prior to the air filter. This pre-filter is made of a dry weave fabric that does not attract dirt and cleans with soap and water.

C.A.R.B.

What is C.A.R.B.?

The California Air Resources Board, also known as CARB or ARB, is the "clean air agency" in the government of California.

Exempted parts are add-on or modified parts that have undergone an ARB engineering evaluation. If the part or modification is shown to not increase vehicle emissions, it is granted an exemption to emission control system anti-tampering laws. This exemption is called an Executive Order (EO) and allows the modification to be installed on specific emission controlled vehicles. Every Executive Order part or modification has an assigned number that can be verified by Smog Check stations, BAR Referee stations, or by the ARB.

How do I get a C.A.R.B. sticker?

All items that have been granted an Executive Order number from C.A.R.B. will have a EO sticker included in the kit and must be placed on or near the device. To see if your vehicle has been granted an Executive Order number, look up your vehicle's year, make and model on the aFepower.com website or on the ARB website. aFe's Executive Orders currently have a range from D-550 to D-550-16. If for some reason you are missing the EO sticker, please contact us via this Form.
